Larsa Pippen defended herself on social media over the weekend as trolls criticized her for splitting with Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen.
What’s going on:
Larsa Pippen shared a selfie on Instagram where she wrote, “Find someone who’ll put you first.” Almost immediately, fans of Scottie Pippen slammed the Bulls star’s ex-wife, saying that she “didn’t put Scottie Pippen first.”
She replied, “Really? I did everything for him literally everything.”
This is the second time that Larsa Pippen’s social media actions have gone viral because of “The Last Dance.” After the first and second episodes, people shared their concern that Scottie Pippen didn’t make enough cash during his Chicago Bulls run. But Larsa Pippen tweeted out a Bleacher Report story that showed Scottie Pippen earned more than Michael Jordan.
The article showed Pippen made $109,192,430 over the course of his career, which was $20 million more than Jordan.
Larsa Pippen wrote on Twitter; “Thx for your concern Scottie did ok #TheLastDance.”
Some additional context:
Commenters did bring up that Larsa Pippen committed adultery, which led to the couple’s divorce in November 2018. The couple had been married for 21 years.
Larsa Pippen denied the cheating allegations in April, according to TMZ.
“I was married to him for 20 years, I did everything for him and my family. People change and that’s what really happened.” She added, “Most people can’t even imagine being in a relationship for a week so I know it’s beyond imagination. Cheating wasn’t the problem.”
In 2016, Scottie Pippen filed for divorce after voice recordings leaked of Laersa Pippen calling police and saying her husband was acting verbally aggressive with her, according to People magazine.
